Pilot Trial of Hypnosis and Enhanced Communication In Patients Undergoing MRI
NCT04520100 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The overarching goal of this study is to enhance patient comfort during magnetic resonance (MR) exams by reducing anxiety and movement during the exam, thereby decreasing the time spent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner and potentially improving patient satisfaction with the clinical care experience. This will be done with a trial focusing on studying the effects of clinical hypnosis and focused communication training on patient anxiety and other metrics during an MRI examination.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04520100
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04520100 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 40 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Colorado, Denver, which has 1,447 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Anxiety appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Clinical Hypnosis performed by the PI is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04520100 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Colorado. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
